Answer 2

Answer:

Bigger

Step-by-step explanation:

-3.8 is bigger because negative numbers closer to 0 are actually bigger than negative numbers farther away.

If $-4\frac{1}{2}$ is broken down into simpler form it becomes -9/2 which reduces to -4.5 in decimal form. -4.5 is farther away from 0 on a number line thus it is smaller. Thus -3.8 > -4.5
